Will the digging ever stop!!

What happens here

The video shows a specialized trenching machine actively digging a trench across a grassy field. The trencher's digging chain, equipped with robust teeth, rotates downwards, effectively cutting into the soil. As the machine moves forward, the excavated soil is brought up and deposited to the side of the newly formed trench by an auger system, creating a neat pile of loose dirt adjacent to the open channel. The trench itself appears to be several inches wide and consistently deep, leaving a clear path behind the machine.

Goal: Excavate a continuous trench to the desired depth and length
